Perhaps, you mother thinks you are taking too much time off - lazying about too much. The older generation understands just fine. Not all jobs are 8-5 or 9-5 and some jobs can be done from home.

Best answer: Perhaps, you mother thinks you are taking too much time off - lazying about too much. The older generation understands just fine. Not all jobs are 8-5 or 9-5 and some jobs can be done from home. Some work at the office, some work at home. And, then, there are street jobs. And, there are jobs that make good money working just half an hour a day, such as trading. Things are no different now than they were a generation or two ago. There are more technology jobs but, they all work the same.

To be clear - you need to use credit in order to get good scores. Paying in cash/check all the time is not good either. Ideally you want to keep enough balance over the years so the creditors make some money off of you, but keep balances well below the maximum. Right now my balance is up more than it has been -...

Best answer: To be clear - you need to use credit in order to get good scores. Paying in cash/check all the time is not good either. Ideally you want to keep enough balance over the years so the creditors make some money off of you, but keep balances well below the maximum. Right now my balance is up more than it has been - it's about 10% of my credit limit. And I pay $300-$500 monthly payments, all the time. I'll add that I have some automatic payments on it so it always goes up some.

I work in a break/fix center for computer repairs and we have a 8am-6pm schedule. Often, we are able to repair and get the customer out the door within reasonable times.

I work in a break/fix center for computer repairs and we have a 8am-6pm schedule. Often, we are able to repair and get the customer out the door within reasonable times. When a customer comes in at 5:57pm, I often feel obligated to help and sometimes I have to stay an extra hour as a result until their issue is fixed. I'm no longer interested in staying past 6pm because I have busy evenings. What is a nice way to tell a customer to come tomorrow due to the store being closed shortly? I'd like to be able to tell them in a way that does not upset them. I've had to tell customers lately that we are closed because they walk in a 5:55pm. Some have been upset and some were understanding. Any advice? My goal is to leave right at 6pm, no matter what.

I’ve had this one customer since May of last year and I’ve just recently decided to let her go (yes, I gave her a month notice!) typically rule thumb in my business is I don’t do laundry and I do not clean dishes however in the beginning I had to make a couple concessions ( which for her, I did) i’ve recently gotten to the point to where I’ve made more customers and I feel like I’m spending too much time in her home. The home is always trashed and it takes me about six hours at $130 each visit to clean her house. I cleaned her house every week. There are some days that her laundry is so piled up it can take me almost an hour and a half just to fold and put away clothes. I have to admit it is a relief that I gave her a notice. I felt as if I was spending way too much time in a home for that little money . I figured by the time I pay taxes and chemical and supply and gas mileage (which her house is not far away at all) but still it adds up. Does anybody have any similar experiences to this or is anybody a small owner of a small cleaning business where they could please give me some helpful advice?
And please no nasty comments!

times listed on the store doors. The first closing time is when the doors are locked so no more customers can come in. The second closing time is when all customers need to leave the store by. What do you think? Good or Bad idea and WHY?

Best answer:
No. The EIN is assigned to the corp, not the individual. You will have to update your information with the state. If you were reporting as a sole member LLC on Sch C, then you would have to change as adding a new member would make you a partnership which is a different tax entity. Since you're already taxed...

If you were reporting as a sole member LLC on Sch C, then you would have to change as adding a new member would make you a partnership which is a different tax entity. Since you're already taxed as a corp, the new member is simply buying in as a new shareholder.

I want to make personalised bookmarks and I've asked a lot of book lovers if they would ever purchase one before I start making them for people.

I want to make personalised bookmarks and I've asked a lot of book lovers if they would ever purchase one before I start making them for people. However, couple people have said print is dying and there's evidence to back this up. This would be a very small business I have no intention to make it into the size of Mcdonalds or Apple but I don't want to enter a dying industry. Do you think I should do it anyway? Or is this a big risk?

I know that larger companies have someone commissioned already on staff generally, and banks have notaries for individuals to use, but in my experience their hours and availability has been sporadic.

I know that larger companies have someone commissioned already on staff generally, and banks have notaries for individuals to use, but in my experience their hours and availability has been sporadic.
What if I became a Notary, and then I leased a small office suite, visible from a busy road, maybe 500 square feet.
I would have signage and advertize as a Notary Public, taking walk-ins, no appointments neccesary.
My small office space could have a front desk, a small personal office and a conference room. That's about it.
It's a fairly straightforward process to become a notary and the startup expense would be fairly minimal to lease and furnish such a space.
Is it conceivable that one could make a living that way?
Especially if I have saturday and sunday availability. That would be about as rare as a bank being opened Sundays.

Okay i just attended my first apparel market in Atlanta, and im confused on when exactly i will be charged for the goods.
so you plan orders and deliveries in advanced, like you have a march order, a may order, etc.. im assuming you don't pay for 6 months of orders and deliveries up front, id assume you pay month to month.. so when do they charge you for each of those deliveries?before shipment? upon receiving the goods? one merchant said after I "issue an approval"- what does that mean?
please note- these are not net 30 terms, but CC on file.

Best answer:
Tell them that they're being shipped separately and give them the tracking number.
When you're a drop shipper you're going to eat some of these costs or you're going to give shiity customer service. Your choice.
ETA: No, you don't add photos of the gift cards. This customer is up to no good.
